If you know me, you know that I love my morning smoothie. The more greens, the better. That’s why when I was asked to review my friend Becky’s new e-book,40 Days of Green Smoothies I jumped at the chance.

Smoothies are one of the best ways to ensure that you start your day with a healthy serving of fruit and veggies. They’re also a great way to sneak greens into the bodies of those who don’t like vegetables. Additionally, you can add things like chia seeds, flax, and hemp seeds to the mix for a boost of omegas and protein.

The smoothie recipes in this e-book are made with whole foods and they’re all vegan, they’re also colorful and easy to make, so you’ll look forward to making one in the morning to get you going. They also make a great afternoon snack, SO much better than a cup of coffee, soda, or a candy bar to re-energize.

Vegetable Smoothies that Taste Good

That’s right, the smoothies in this book taste good great! Becky created 40 vegan smoothies that are packed full of greens, but you can’t taste them. They’re masked by the taste of fresh or frozen fruit and other healthy ingredients. I tried several of them and they were all so delicious. Some of my favorites….

Cherry Tangerine Smoothie

Banana Berry Fresh Smoothie

Chocolate Covered Cherry Smoothie

Chocolate Shake

Can you believe it? Chocolate smoothies that contain greens, and they’re good for you! This makes me so happy.

Coconut Blackout Smoothie and an eBook Giveaway

One of my favorite smoothies from Becky’s book is the Coconut Blackout Smoothie. I try to consume a lot of berries because they have so many health benefits, and blackberries are one of my favorites. This smoothie is made with blackberries and other ingredients, such as banana, coconut milk, chia seeds, and lettuce—I chose butter lettuce because it’s so mild. Full of potassium, healthy fat, vitamins, antioxidants, and protein, this is a great smoothie that takes five minutes to make, and it’s so rich and creamy. The perfect way to begin the day.

Lettuce has an even lighter flavor than spinach in a smoothie, so don’t be shy about adding a healthy handful. Most lettuce is pretty watery, so your lettuce smoothies will be a little thinner than the green smoothies you’re used to.

Ingredients

1 banana

1/2 cup frozen blackberries

1/2 cup of lettuce

1/2 cup light coconut milk

1/4-1/2 cup of water, as needed to get things moving

1 tablespoon chia seeds

3 ice cubes

Instructions

Puree in a blender until smooth.

Notes

Lettuce has an even lighter flavor than spinach in a smoothie, so don’t be shy about adding a healthy handful. Most lettuce is pretty watery, so your lettuce smoothies will be a little thinner than the green smoothies you’re used to.
